My 2c, i think the Xbox is at the end of its development lifespan and i believe may believe this is true.Especially since games are getting bigger xbox 8.4gb dvd discs are becoming small, that is why i believe they had a technical refresh where the hardrive is now include in the Xbox (slim).
Not to bring this up, but the PS1 and PS2 although weaker than the competition had one thing over them games for the masses and availability to all and the fact that they were uhm, chipable. I believe the 360 share the same popularity cause many poeple just flash their console and buy R70 copy which is wrong.
I chose not to support piracy, and went with PS3 (i am not saying all xbox users are the same) and never look back since my 60GB model (which i still own) to my current 120GB model i have had few issues with the console. I believe since the Xbox slim isnt chipable at the moment it wont be such much of appeal to most users. Most of the people who ghave bought Xbox out of my friends bought them cause they were significantly cheaper and also cause the games were cheaper in one sense.
I believe this post mite be delete due to regulations but this is the truth behind the current console war. And why Xbox is dominant atm.
